The Heat re-signed Silva to a fourth 10-day contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into the past weekend, Miami wouldn't have had a spot available on the roster for Silva once his third 10-day deal expired, but Omer Yurtseven's entry Sunday into the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols allowed the Heat to keep the former around on another hardship allowance. While Yurtseven is likely out for Miami's upcoming four-game week, Silva will move up a spot on the depth chart, but he's unlikely to be included in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation with Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon on hand to fill minutes at center.

Silva isn't eligible to play in Saturday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Silva will be ineligible for a second straight game since the team no longer has any players in the league's COVID-19 protocols. He'll presumably head back to the G League once his 10-day contract expires.

Silva isn't eligible to play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because Tyler Herro exited the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will make his return to action Wednesday, Silva -- who was signed Jan. 21 on a 10-day hardship exemption -- will have to sit out. Expect Silva to report back to the G League's Iowa Wolves once his third 10-day pact with Miami expires at the end of the month.

Silva agreed to a third 10-day hardship contract with the Heat on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Silva's contract was allowed to lapse for a day, but he's officially back on the roster Friday. He hasn't seen game action for the Heat since Jan. 12 and is unlikely to see much playing time, especially with Bam Adebayo now back and healthy.

Miami didn't re-sign Silva after his 10-day contract expired Thursday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silva received a pair of 10-day deals from Miami when the team was missing a number of frontcourt players due to injuries or COVID-19-related absences, but the recent return of Bam Adebayo from an extended absence lessens the need for the Heat to keep Silva around any longer. Over the course of his two contracts with Miami, Silva appeared in six games and averaged 4.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per contest. He didn't play in any of the Heat's most recent four games. Unless he quickly lands another NBA deal, Silva is expected to rejoin the G League's Iowa Wolves.

Silva signed a second 10-day contract with Miami on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat are still battling COVID-19 absences, as well as some injuries, so they've opted to re-sign both Silva and Kyle Guy to fresh 10-day deals. Neither player is likely to stick around long term, but they'll continue to provide much-needed depth over the next week-and-a-half. Silva has logged 12.4 minutes per game over Miami's last five contests, posting 4.8 points and 5.2 boards.
